Kane has scored 49 points (13 goals, 36 assists) in 39 games, third behind McDavid and Oilers forward Leon Draisaitl, who has scored 56 points (19 goals, 37 assists) in 38 games. Kane won the Hart Trophy in 2015-16 after he led the NHL with 106 points (46 goals, 60 assists) in 82 games.
The 32-year-old has not scored in two games after a five-game point streak.
"I think my scoring touch could be a little bit better," Kane said. "I felt like I was getting a lot of chances up until the last game (a 2-1 win against the Hurricanes on Tuesday), and just trying to produce and help the team any way I can. Just trying to do my thing, get better every day and hopefully the goals will start coming, but I feel pretty good about my game all around. Just would like to improve the scoring touch a little bit, obviously."
